The New York Times publishes UB Law dean’s op ed

An op-ed in The New York Times by Makau Mutua, dean of
the UB Law School, looks at charges leveled by some African leaders
that the International Criminal Court, established in 2002 to hear
cases of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanities, is
racist. “It seems that African leaders, who overwhelmingly
agreed to the Rome Statute that set up the tribunal, now complain
about it because it is doing its job too well — by pursuing
justice and accountability even, or especially, at the level of
heads of state. Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to
virtue,” he writes. Mutua’s piece is the second op-ed
in the Times by a UB Law School member in the past four months.
